    So, ever since I've had my E500, the wireless adaptor switches off by itself.

    I even tried formatting it, using different drivers but it still dies.

    That even happens when I'm browsing and it's not set by windows to switch it off.

    Any suggestions ?

    What drivers were you using, and what OS?

    I'm on Vista.

    LG Intelligent Update says I have the Azurewave Wireless LAN Driver 7.2.0.204

    Control Panel says 7.4.2.75 but it doesnt mention Azurewave anywhere

    I tried the CommView drivers and the same thing would happen again.

    I've tried those, they wont even install properly.

    I get a blue screen and despite the drivers being installed, it won't let me connect anywhere

    You got the newest BIOS, right? Check it, run msinfo32.exe, select "System Summary". BIOS Version/Date should be:
    American Megatrends Inc. A1636IL1 V1.1G, 1.2.2008

    It may also be some of these:
    A1637IL1 Ver 1.63
    A163FIL1 Ver 1.0G

    If lower, check www lge com / support / software.jsp
    (add dots and remove spaces)

    I know that LG's site sucks big time, but it's there.
